Browsing the internet last night and I was reminded of the porn stars (Danny Dong for those interested) filming outside Ninian Park and speaking to a load of fans.
Has to be the least expected thing I saw at a Cardiff game.

The strangest experience for me was coming out of the ground at the end of the Ajax friendly to be confronted by snarling police dogs, bright lights and coppers screaming "Move !". Very unexpected and quite unsettling at the time.
The bloke standing halfway up sloper Road on the way to the ground saying " moneyspinner lottery tickets ! " every single home game , for years
I never saw anyone buy a ticket from him
He must have given up , or gone to see the great bluebird in the sky
In the 70's i went to Stamford Bridge to watch Chelsea v Leeds on the supporters club coach after our game with Southampton was called off. I was in the shed end when about half a dozen drunken valley boys took out a huge welsh flag and opened it up. I sort of moved away as i thought they were in for a good kicking. I could not believe it when the shed opened up and people gave them space. Police moved in and im not sure what happened then. As a young lad then i still think of those crazy valley boys
There are loads of things, mostly fan induced. Remember Stockport away, mid nineties, first game of the season. We were tonked and Kevin Francis beat lumps out of our defence. That was standard fare back then. The one thing that stands out is some City fan walking the terrace with a ghetto blaster, taking zero notice of the game and nobody else really batting an eyelid, although that was pretty much standard fare back then as well.
Two identical Twins beating the shit out of each other at Hereford away, early 90s. The plod turned the dogs on them both and they both attacked the dogs. More disturbing that day was a youngish City fan who suffered with Cerebral Palsy being detained by the police at the train station because the police thought that he was pissed due to the way that he walked and talked due to his disability. City fans were surrounding the police protesting his innocence.
Craven Cottage when they brought the police on horseback onto the pitch when the trouble was on the terraces.
The City fan who ran onto the pitch before the match at the Vetch and started shagging a 6ft polystyrene Swan whilst two rows of teenage pom pom girls danced trying not to notice took some beating.
Police with dogs chasing Millwall fans who were heading to the Grange End en masse from the Bob Bank.
However, despite the best efforts of their handlers the dogs couldn't be diverted from devouring the hot-dogs that were spread around the Bob Bank after the Millwall fans had turned it over before a couple of minutes earlier.
Another strange thing thats occured to me is when announced on the tannoy at the old NP thats when someones wife has gone into labour i have never seen anyone leave.
I remember a streaker shimmying up the goal posts at NP before the customary race back with overweight stewards back to the stands.

Bartley the bluebird fighting the bury mascot at half time at gigg lane in a midweek game when they tonked us 3-0, and if that wasn’t weird enough, at the end spencer prior came over to the away fans at the end and it’s fair to say tensions were running high!
Saw a Cardiff fan punch a horse after it stood on his foot outside Maine rd many moons ago,
It was a hell of a hit and I'm sure the horse wobbled.
I was in the Family Enclosure at Ninan Park about 15 years ago, when we had the big screen in the corner between the Grange End and the Bob Bank.
Just before the second half a club official came and stood behind us with what look like a remote control handset for a TV. I joked that he was about to start the clock on the screen. He said 'yes that's right!' and when the ref blew to start to second half, the guy clicks the remote device and the clock started on the sign screen!! Honestly.
The contradiction of the City emerging from the tunnel to ‘Simply The Best’ during our dungeon days. Always raised a chuckle in our corner of the Bob Bank.
